Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: 轻连 at 5.0 against Via Browser's 4.4. 轻连 also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months). Via Browser's advantage is ratings volume (163 vs 1) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
